Should Scout Motors consider a remake of the 1981 Scout SSV?​

International Harvester's Corvette - A future Scout, left in the past​

The 1981 Scout that never was

Maybe even make the new Scout with composite body parts like the SSV.

International Harvester's Corvette - A future Scout, left in the past

Even for a company in financial trouble, work on future models must continue to the very last. Such was the case for International in the ’70s. Even as Internat

Absolutely not. Maybe an 800 update but no. Looks like a pre Izususu Amigo

That design does not appeal to me. Making a li’l 800 fella sounds appealing. That’s a cute and friendly truck.

This and the Scout III hatchback-y design language seemed very inconsistent with their predecessors. I’m sure that was intentional, but it was a bad choice. It took away what made them distinct. I know people are divisive about the headlights on the new Scouts, but at least they’re a little wink at the International Harvester logo. They’re thoughtful. This is yucky.

Agreed....though I was thinking I saw some Pontiac Aztek DNA in there.

Because that helps for the character improvement

I never knew that existed! It’s a little … Ugly… but I like the size. I would love a smaller version of the new Scouts.

Too close to the proposed Rivian R3X and/or a reimagined Yugo, but I do kinda like the Rivian, so I wouldn't mind seeing some design sketches...

This is OK but reminds me of the ioniq 5 with a small lift

I really like this, truth be told. What I like is that it fits in with the Rivian family. It kind of looks like its nondescript European exchange student cousin, but it’s definitely related to the R1S, R1T, and the R2. If it’s in my budget, I’d consider going for this over a Scout. Something smaller might make more sense for me as a single person who doesn’t expect to gain any kind of pre-menopausal egg-laying ability anytime soon. The color, for sure, is definitely up my alley.

Still mad that all Rivians don’t do tank turns as a standard thing. If Scouts absolutely 100% get confirmed to do stuff like going tank turns, and it means that I can go tear up someone’s suspiciously green lawn when there’s a water ban in effect (to me, that seems like an appropriate use case), I will never again make a statement that includes “instead of a Scout/over a Scout” ever again.
